His overgrooming may also been caused by a food allergy. At this time, we do not know if the overgrooming is caused by anxiety, food allergy, or a combination of them both. Best to consult with your established vet. Our veterinarian has started Thomas on a prescription diet to see if his overgrooming is caused by a food allergy. Due to this, Thomas can only eat the prescription diet as other foods may worsen the skin condition. Thomas has lived with a 5yr old cat in his previous home which he played with. However, due to his strict dietary needs, he has to be the only pet in the home to ensure he is only consuming the prescription diet. Thomas has lived with 8 and 10 year old's that he played and got along with. Thomas can live with cat savvy older children that will ensure a calm environment for him. A calm and consistent home would be best for Thomas. Thomas is ready for his purr-ever home!
